Why you have to feng shui your kitchen to attract harmony and prosperity

Ideally, your kitchen is the place for preparing healthy meals that will sustain
nourishment and energy for you and your entire family. But according to the
principles of Feng shui, your kitchen can be so much more...

The ancient science of Feng shui teaches us that our kitchen is our source of
abundance, harmony, prosperity and good fortune. Therefore, you should approach it
with celebration of life and infinite abundance of energy in mind.

In addition, you absolutely have to Feng shui your kitchen. There are some aspects
that you have to avoid and others that you have to implement. By aspects we mean a
number of simple rules that, if followed, will strengthen the flow of beneficial
energy and increase the well-being of your home and family.

In this article we will explore these rules and the different aspect of how to Feng
shui your kitchen to maximize the beneficial energy influx.

In Feng shui, we deal with 5 basic elements: wood, fire, earth, metal, and water.
Amongst them, the fire element brings the active force necessary for achieving
abundance. And guess what ... your kitchen is represented by this element. That is
to say that your financial situation and prosperity are reflected in your kitchen.

Health, wealth, prosperity, vitality, and happiness are all aspect of our life
mirrored in the food we eat, so we should pay attention to the place where our food
is cooked.

If you kitchen is in balance, clean, airy, and light, you will love to be there and
prepare food. As you have turned it into a peaceful environment, your own energy field will be peaceful and in harmony too. If your kitchen radiates
vibrant energy and warmth, this vital force will be transferred to the food you
cook.

One cannot overestimate how important this is. People usually think that there is
only the material (physical and chemical) side to the food they eat. However, if
they could use clairvoyance or super-sensible vision to observe the prepared meal,
they would see that the food they eat is imbued with all sorts of energies that have
no physical presence, including those from the environment and from the cook.

So how can you quickly and easily improve the feng shui of your kitchen? Here is a
short list:

Keep your kitchen clean and free from clutter, especially all the surfaces.

Keep all the cabinets and counter-tops neat and well organized.

Keep out of sight every single thing that is not used every day.

Remove any and all broken items from the kitchen.

Remove any photos of relatives, friends, or family members from the kitchen.

Hide the trash can below the sink or inside some of the kitchen elements.

Avoid having to many elements with pointed corners. Replace them with rounded corners.

Avoid using fluorescent lights.

Use bright, sunny and optimistic colors.

Use real fire to cook if you can, for example, wood ovens or gas cook-tops.

I hope you can see that, in most of the cases, only a small effort is needed from
your side to improve the Feng shui in your kitchen and automatically improve the
health and vitality of your home.

I was initially leery about Feng Shui until a friend swore things changed after reading Lillian Too's Living with Good Feng Shui book and applying it into her day-to-day life. Googled it and found a copy from Noon Books (www.noon-books.com). I thoroughly enjoyed reading it, applying it and waiting for positive results. I swear life seems to just "flow" now instead of just "chug along" if you know what I mean. Money comes in from unexpected sources and relationships seem to require no effort. Life just seems happier. I can't explain it, but it works. I guess at the end of the day that's what it all boils down to. Super thankful I stumbled upon this and gave it a chance.

I have a question maybe you can answer. We had a neighbor who is now gone, who was clearly Chinese and had symbols on the door and little feng shui jade statues on the common steps outside. The neighbor is now gone, the apartment is empty and the jade statues had been blown into the bushes several times by the landscapers when they come. I have rescued them and replaced them several times.
My question is, I would like to adopt these statues and give them a new home in my place. I have great respect for eastern traditions and have followed eastern spirituality for nearly 30 years, and I had been drawn to this collection of small statues since we moved in. They make me smile whenever I see them. Is it prudent that I should be able to take them in and clean them up and give them a new home, or would that be something that is bad energy? They have clearly been left behind as the place is empty otherwise.
Thanks for any insight you can give me!!!

Hi Valerie. Thanks for the comment. I feel the same about the eastern traditions. They contain a great wealth of wisdom to be discovered. If you insist on keeping the statues from your neighbor, I would suggest thoroughly cleansing them to get rid of the accumulated energy. Or even better, you could always purchase similar brand new jade statues.
